The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

It's in a corner, a small piece of land.

Because the cotton candy booth next to it is overcrowded, you can't find it if you don't look carefully.

Although there are many passers-by passing by the Go booth, there are very few people who actually stop to ask a question or try to solve a few life-and-death problems.

Guang chased Liang and came over, and when he saw the small booth of the Weiqi club, the expression on his face was in a daze for a moment.

"Hey, Liang." When Guang came back to his senses, he looked at Liang and gently pulled Liang's arm, "Let's go help together, shall we?"

Others may not know Hikari and Ryo, but anyone who has a little understanding of Japanese Go will know Toya Ryo and Shindo Hikari, who are also known as "two stars in the chess world".

Seeing the throne of Toya Ryo and Shinto Mitsuko's main master actually appearing in front of the booth, the members of the Go Club, who were still somewhat lacking in interest, were taken aback collectively, and after confirming that they were not dreaming, they all jumped up like chicken blood. He stood up straight, and after hearing the intention of the two people, he welcomed them directly to the chairs behind the booth and sat down on the chairs behind the booth, leaving only two "servants" to serve, and the rest volunteered. Distributing leaflets on the road.

"I'm 17 years old, is it still too late to learn Go?"

"Is Go very much a test of computing power?"

"Are you...Taya Ryo's true self?!! Ahhh, I'm your big fan!!!"

……

I don't know if it's my own illusion, but since Liang took office in front of the Go booth, there seem to be more and more passers-by, and most of them are girls...?

When Guang got up to deliver the materials to an old man, his eyes turned slightly to the left—just to the extent that he could see someone beside him, so someone was concentrating on explaining Go knowledge to a girl. The figure was completely imprinted in the eyes of the light.

When he was explaining, Liang leaned forward slightly, and a few strands of dark green long hair on his temples swayed slightly between his lowering and raising his head. A custom-made light gray suit pulled his shoulders to a symmetrical line.There was a professional smile on his lips, but his voice was always soft and indescribably soft.

At that moment, there was almost a trace of unreasonable little displeasure in Guang's heart——

For the girl who is receiving Liang's patient explanation at the moment, but the original intention may be just to have a few words with Liang: "Hey, do you want to learn Go? If you don't want to learn Go, just return Liang to me!"

as well as.

As for the chess idiot in his family who once entered the working state, he acted like no one else and devoted himself wholeheartedly: "Hey, what are you doing with that girl smiling so softly?! Do you want to rebel?"

But perhaps, Liang in front of people has always looked like this.

On weekdays, when he didn't speak, he just stood there, like a flawless portrait, with inherent nobility and elegance, which made people want to get closer, but he was afraid that he would be too reckless and cause him to panic. disgusted.So, over time, they automatically opened up the distance between them and Liang.

Without contact, there is no way to understand.

Noticing Hikari's gaze, Ryo turned his face slightly to the side, with a smile on his lips, and when his eyes were about to meet, Hikari quickly moved his eyes away—judging from the temperature on his face, he finally managed to show no flaws, But the sound of the heartbeat seems to be going through the blood circulation of the whole body, rushing left and right in the blood vessels of all parts of his body, and the sound of gongs and drums is loud.

Then again, this was the first time he saw Liang at work at such a close distance, except for the formal game of chess.

Very... sexy.

With a grunt, Guang swallowed lightly.

Later, Liang and Guang didn't stay at the Go booth for long. Seeing that the booth gradually gained some popularity, they returned the home field to the Go club members.

After walking a few steps forward, Guang suddenly stopped for unknown reasons, and turned around to look at the Go booth a few meters away.

In the eyes, there seems to be nostalgia.

"Reluctantly?" Liang followed Guang's line of sight and looked back.

Light didn't answer, just shook his head slightly.

Several students at the booth saw them, maybe thought they were saying goodbye to themselves, and they all waved to them with a smile.

Guang and Liang also waved to them with a smile, officially saying goodbye to the students who met by chance.

"Have I ever told you that the first time I met Tsutsui-senpai was at the founding ceremony of Haze Middle School?" When turning around, Hikari turned his face sideways and looked at Ryo, "At that time, Zuo Weigang Not long after I woke up on my body, I was also distressed, what should I do if this guy keeps attached to me..."

Light didn't go on.

He smiled at Liang, and walked forward.

Liang followed behind Guang, caught up with Guang, and asked more worriedly: "Are you okay?"

Guang nodded: "Ah, I'm fine."

After walking for a while, Guang suddenly said, "Thank you."

Liang froze for a moment, then laughed: "Why do you think of saying this?"

Light's footsteps did not feel a pause.

"Thank you for letting me have someone who can share Zuowei's story." Guang stopped and looked at Liang with seriousness in his eyes, "Thank you for choosing to believe in me after I kept you secret for so long, and thank you You," Guang paused, "you pulled out that thorn in my heart."

After finishing word by word, Guang felt a little embarrassed.

After all, he is not good at saying these lyrical, sensational and emotional words.

As soon as he lowered his head, he quickened his pace and continued to walk forward.

After passing through the centralized stall area, and going forward, there is the T University Gymnasium.On the day of the cultural festival, it is also the location of the "Haunted House".

"The haunted house we built in our courtyard is very interesting, I recommend you to check it out."

Before Alex left, he once whispered this sentence, Liang was still hesitant at first, but after seeing the sign of the haunted house, he became interested, pulled him and ran all the way to the end of the line, and then, the two of them Unexpectedly, at the entrance, he saw the imaginary enemy in both minds—Alexander Lovegood.

Seeing Taya Ryo and Shinto Hikaru walking towards him, Alex had an unpredictable smile as expected.

"Don't separate." When Guang passed by him, Alex suddenly reminded in a low voice.

The light flickered, and when they turned around again, the velvet curtain behind them had been lowered again.

In the haunted house, it was not as dark as imagined.

Above the head, there are sporadic blue, red, or green small spotlights that illuminate the surrounding weird and eerie light.

As soon as you enter the door, you will find a long and narrow corridor. The walls on both sides of the corridor are covered with several blood-stained, or palm prints with long bloodstains.

At the end of the corridor is a room with a closed door.

The surrounding area was extremely quiet, without a single sound, only the occasional wind blowing from nowhere, hitting Guang Heliang's face vaguely.

"It's quite realistic, ha, ha." Guang looked at Liang, and laughed a few times pretending to be calm.

Liang also smiled, but said nothing.

Just when they were about to approach the room, the door that seemed to be in disrepair suddenly creaked and opened from the inside.

Guang took a step back in stress, just bumped into Liang's body, Liang stretched out his hand to support Guang's waist, Guang was frightened and shivered again, after realizing that it was Liang, he glanced at Liang for some reason, and then lightly With a cough: "You, follow me closely." Then he put his hand behind him.

"Okay." Ryo laughed, and took Guang's hand.

into the room.

The light kept swallowing, and cautiously moved a few steps inside—fortunately, it was just a room lit with blue light, decorated horribly, and the sound of "cracking" sounded from time to time... a doll's house.

"What, it's not scary at all."

Guang just said a sentence, when he suddenly heard a sound like gears sliding towards him from far and near, he followed the sound and looked up, a faceless female ghost wearing a white kimono with red lips had already stuck to it. In front of his eyes, at the same time, there was an ethereal and eerie singing voice in his throat: "Londonbridgeisfallingdown, fallingdown, fallingdown, londonbridgeisfallingdown, myfairlady... cluck cluck cluck..."

"Ahhhh!!!"

Instinctively, Hikaru stretched out his hand to cover the opponent's face. When his fingertips touched the soft and rough fabric, he was taken aback. He quickly withdrew his hand, and after a closer look, he found that it was just a puppet sliding down the rope, and finally it was loose. tone.

With the dim light, Guang saw that there was another door at the other end of the room.

When he entered the haunted house, he noticed that it was a single-threaded design, that is to say, to reach the end point, he had to go through one level after another. Apart from that, there was no shortcut.

"Liang, look, there is another door over there..."

Halfway through Guang's speech, he suddenly saw two fluorescent skeletons bouncing towards them from two corners of the room behind Liang.

"Guang, pay attention behind you!"

Guang turned around suddenly, and saw two fluorescent zombies gathering towards them behind him at the same time...

Where the hell is this coming from? !When they entered the door, they obviously didn't have any! ! !

Even though he knew that these skeletons and zombies must be played by students, but Guang still screamed unbelievably, grabbed Liang's hand, and ran to the other door-of course, grasped Liang's hand. Before pulling his hand, he was very careful to confirm that he did not pull the wrong person.

Hope is at hand.

The moment Hikaru forcefully opened another door, a Sadako with loose hair suddenly hung upside down in front of him——

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

Light can no longer remember how many times he screamed, and he no longer cares whether Liang has screamed.

After passing about four rooms, another room appeared in front of them.

Perhaps it is the last checkpoint. The door of this room is two double-opening wooden doors that look like ancient city gates. There is a line of text printed on the seemingly heavy wooden doors: The last farewell.

Like the first room, the door opened on both sides as soon as they reached the door.

But this time, before stepping into the room, the raised right foot has already retracted first—on the floor of the last room, an extremely realistic giant naked-eye 3D picture starts from the entrance and goes all the way in. Extended, it occupies two thirds of the room.

In the picture, under the vermilion wooden arch bridge, there are various undead, skeletons, and rotten objects trying to climb up the cliffs of the abyss. Some undead are devouring weaker undead, and some skeletons are being killed Kicking down the abyss again, a dry and rotten hand has already climbed to the edge of the vermilion arch bridge...

Hikaru couldn't help swallowing, and squeezed Ryo's hand tightly.

He seemed to want to say something, but a large amount of white smoke with a strange smell suddenly appeared on the ground under his feet, and as time went by, the concentration and smell of the smoke continued to intensify...

Seeing that the smoke had reached their waists, Guang and Liang glanced at each other, and then they stepped into the last room together.

The moment they stepped onto the arch bridge, the double wooden doors slammed shut behind them with a bang.

From the moment they stepped into the room, their feet were already standing on the naked-eye 3D vermilion arch bridge.And under his feet, there is the abyss of hell and hundreds of undead.

Because the vermilion arch bridge is extremely narrow, only one person can pass at a time. Guang and Liang had to walk on the bridge in tandem, but Guang always held Liang's hand tightly, never letting go for a second.

There may be a human body infrared sensor installed in the room. Every time you take a step, you can hear the creaking of the wooden planks on the bridge, the sharp and piercing screams under the bridge, and the undead from all directions. A muffled and hoarse murmur like phlegm.

Finally, I crossed the "bridge" without any danger, and there were three doors standing coldly in front of the "bridge".

Hikaru let go of Liang's hand, and walked to the extreme left door first, stretched out his hand and twisted the handle, but it didn't open.Just when he was about to unscrew the second fan, Liang called him softly: "Look, Guang."

Looking in the direction of the bright finger, there is a Buddhist altar on the right side of the wall. In the altar, there are three double-strand hemp ropes as thick as a thumb, and a copper bell is attached to the top of each hemp rope.

On the desktop of the altar, there is also a simple explanation——

"Please pull down on any twine to select which door you are about to pass through.

Everyone must go through the door they choose, and once the choice is made, it cannot be changed.

Only one person can pass through each door at a time.When passing, all other participants must stand behind the passer-by and are not allowed to walk together. 』

"What a broken rule!" Guang said while pulling the hemp rope in the middle casually, and immediately, a piece of paper with the words "ひだり (left)" written in blood red appeared in front of Guang as the hemp rope was pulled down. .

At the same time, there was only a soft "click" from the left, like the sound of a door lock opening.

Why can only one person pass through at a time, just don't believe a word, just pull the light and go to the leftmost door.

However, it did not unscrew.

Guang Guang didn't believe in evil, and twisted it again, as if he wanted to remove the prop door from the wall.

However, the door remained motionless.

"Damn it!" Guang slammed down the door panel, and gradually became angry from embarrassment, "I'm going to demolish this place!"

It's a pity that the door doesn't know what to do, and still stands loyally in front of Guang, blocking his way.

"Hey, why do you want us to leave separately? Are you all mentally unbalanced?!" Guang took a step back and yelled at the ceiling again, "I said, let us go out quickly! Otherwise, be careful if I really This place was demolished, did you hear that?!"

Unfortunately, there is still no answer.

Guang didn't know who he was arguing with, and when Liang was going to pull the hemp rope, he was caught by Guang.

"Don't go!" Light said.

Liang smiled helplessly.

He patted light lightly and held his hand, and said softly, "It's just a game, it's okay."

Guang shook his head vigorously, his voice was stubborn, and seemed aggrieved: "No!"

He wouldn't have had such a big reaction, if it wasn't for Alex's previous words.

However, he couldn't tell Liang about these things.

Even if he knew it was just a game, he didn't want to take any risks.

During the stalemate with the three sects, Guang thought unreasonably, I am determined to break the rules of the game, what can you do to me?Blast out of a haunted house?That's right, it suits me.

Liang couldn't persuade him, so he had no choice but to stand where he was, and confront the three iron generals in front of him with Guang.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Behind him, the door was closed.

In front of him, there is no way to go.

They seem to be trapped in a cocoon, dragging themselves into a dead end.

Just when Liang thought they would wait indefinitely, he heard a "click", and then, a door in the middle opened by itself!

Guang froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Liang.

Liang and Guang looked at each other and shook their heads, completely unaware of what was going on right now.

Guang didn't think any more, he took Liang's hand and walked towards the middle door. At the same time, he put his right index finger and middle finger together, put them on his forehead, and saluted to a corner of the upper right ceiling: "Thank you!"

When they passed the door in the middle, the door closed behind them of its own accord.

Although the light in the room is still dim, there is no longer the deliberately created horror atmosphere in the entire space, nor are there any frightening, disturbing props or other furnishings.

In the empty room, only the wall opposite them was softly illuminated by three warm yellow spotlights.

On the wall, quietly written:

I'm glad that even in critical moments, you didn't let go of each other's hands.

I hope you can remember the feeling of being with the people around you during these few minutes.

Even if you go back to the bright world, you can still cherish the little moments spent with the people around you.

No regrets[1].

And on the far left side of the wall, a velvet curtain hangs down.

It was the same as the one they walked through when they came.

Guang retracted his gaze, and looked at Liang inquiringly, Liang looked into Guang's eyes, and nodded in agreement.

The moment they opened the curtains together, a ray of light fell into their eyes, which wasn't too dazzling, and the light still closed their eyes unconsciously.

When he opened his eyes and looked at Liang again, there was an obvious smile on his lips, but his voice still said aggressively: "I really want to tear down this haunted house!"

Liang smiled, didn't speak, but held Guang's hand tightly.

As for Alex, they all seem to be wrong.

The author has something to say:
